US reveals Iran is still targeting Trump with 'lethal plots' as DOJ gives update on hacking of his campaign
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 27 2024 | Rob Crilly

American security officials are still tracking Iranian plots to kill Donald Trump and other high-profile figures, according to the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered an update on Friday about Tehran's efforts to disrupt the 2024 election, as charges against three members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (I.R.G.C.) were revealed.

'There are few actors in this world that pose as grave a threat to the national security of the United States as does Iran, state sponsor of terrorism,' he said.

REPORT: DOJ Likely to Announce Indictments Against Iranian Suspects for Hacking President Trump’s Electronic Communications

September 26, 2024 | Sundance 

This stuff is so predictable.  A person would think the DOJ-NSD would make an effort not to just reuse their prior playbook.  Alas, specifically because the IC silos are run by bureaucratic idiots, they just end up rehashing anything that works.

On September 19th CTH said

“I’ll just casually sit back and wait to see what the DOJ NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION (DOJ-NSD) come up with next. Presumably - if I am correct- we will see some patsy Iranian group named, labeled and blamed for the hackinglikely around the end of this month. However, factually the “hacking” per se’, is probably nothing more than the Biden group Intelligence Community (FBI/DOJ/DNI) exploiting their political surveillance control systems.” {LINK}

Cue Dramatic Music… 

TODAY IN DC:  A grand jury has indicted multiple Iranians on charges related to hacking Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

The federal charges stem from an Iranian operation that allegedly stole internal Trump campaign communications this summer, according to three people familiar with the investigation who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.

The names of the defendants and the specific criminal charges were not immediately available. A grand jury secretly approved the indictment on Thursday afternoon. The Justice Department is expected to announce the charges as soon as Friday.

[…] This month, U.S. security agencies released an unusual statement saying Iranians sent material stolen from the former president’s campaign to people linked to Biden’s reelection team (which later morphed into Harris’ campaign). The statement said there is no sign the recipients responded.

Google’s cybersecurity arm has said Iranians tried to hack into Biden’s campaign as well, but there are no indications those attempts succeeded. (read more)

Stop me when you realize you have seen this movie before.

At the end of this IC rainbow, it’s the same destination.  The Trump campaign is under constant surveillance and the IC is obfuscating Iran as the legal predicate, the justification for the mechanisms used by the Biden administration as surveillance.

Who trusts the DOJ? This could be a blame deflection operation to make a deep state Trump attack get blamed on Iran.

Former President Donald Trump didn’t mince words Wednesday at a rally in North Carolina after being warned about ongoing Iranian efforts to assassinate him.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence met with Trump and his campaign on Tuesday, according to an ODNI spokesman. While the agency declined to discuss specifics, the former president’s campaign said the meeting involved “real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.”

During his rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina, Trump echoed that statement and sent a stark warning to Tehran about what he would do if he were president and a leading candidate was under threat.

“If I were the president, I would inform the threatening country, in this case, Iran, that if you do anything to harm this person, we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. We’re going to blow it to smithereens,” the former president said to cheers.

“There would be no more threats,” Trump continued. “But right now, we don’t have that leadership or the necessary people, the necessary leaders.”

Just curious... do you think Russia never does these things, when they have a history of it, and if you think they haven’t been doing it lately, why? When did they ever stop?

The Marxists in the top tier at the FBI are indeed liars, but I question the logic that assumes that this automatically means the Russian top tier aren’t also liars. Or Iran’s.

The stories of Trump-Russia have been proven utterly asinine. The notion we should act "as if they are true" is foolish.

If you want people to trust the deep-state, then give us truth.

... The indictment said the three men (Masoudjalili,ali) —all members of the I.R.G.C.—engaged in a wide-ranging hacking campaign that began in 2020. They targeted American officials, journalists and campaign t in an effort to undermine the democratic process.

The charges include identity theft, wire fraud, and computer fraud.

It reveals how Iran stole debate prep material from the Trump campaign and and tried to send it to the Biden camp on the day of the first, and only, debate between then.

Garland said all three live in Iran, making a prosecution unlikely. ...

Obfuscation. Crooks and Roueth had nothing to do with Iran. Crooks had encrypted Telegram accounts but no Mudslime connex, he was an an-hero ("anti-hero", this is more or less suicide-by-cop while trying to draw negative attention to yourself and embarrass your family).

Attempting to put Iran's fingerprints on these two is pure misdirection. These two were compelled by Democrat direction "danger to democracy", and Roueth almost certainly had a direct handler.

Thus... Iran is once again targeting Trump.

And who is Iran allied with?
Yes... Iran is part of the Iran-Russia-North Korea Alliance.

Thus, what Iran does against America, de facto makes Russia and North Korea highly suspicious as well. They share their common aggressivity against America and the West.

They are the same team, tightly in bed together.

Madame Vice President, we are at war!
American Thinker ^ | 1 Oct, 2024 | Ed Timperlake

Vice president and Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has set an impressive bar for word salad. But in one recent, exceptional statement, she was crystal-clear in her ignorance:

Vice President Kamala Harris declared on a debate stage in Philadelphia that “as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”

In addition to ignoring U.S. troops offshore serving in combat situations, she and her MSM cheering squad have overlooked the most direct threat from a nation-state on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor. But finally, the truth will out.

Even NBC and many other mainstream domestic and international news organizations have now reported on the state of Iran having an ongoing attempt to try and kill our former president and commander-in-chief, Donald Trump.

Top U.S. intelligence officials briefed former President Donald Trump on Tuesday about threats from Iran to assassinate him, a Trump campaign spokesperson said.

“President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

Iran is now trying to make a direct attack on U.S. soil. Such a move transcends state-sponsored terrorism: Iran has crossed a threshold and is committing an act of war.
